My name is Rob Phipps. I've been kayak bass fishing the lakes of the greater South-central Wisconsin area for the last ten years. What started as a hobby turned into a passion as I have recently placing well in online and live tournaments I am a 40-year-old kayak bass fisherman from southern Wisconsin. I began fishing when I was 30yrs old. I started kayak tournament fishing in 2018. In my 1st year I placed runner up for AOY and had four 3rd place finishes, three 2nd-place finishes and one 1st-place finish. I currently carry a 19.21" average on Tourney-X. Some of my favorite gear includes St. Croix rods, Diawa reels, and Z-man, Gary Yamamoto, Keitech and Strike King fishing products. In the future I hope to continue to win tournaments, AOY and branch out to other kayak tournament organizations My life long goal is to find the next Wisconsin state record largemouth.
